Check your humidity level. My old boss used to raise them and he kept it around 70%.

hI ! They need medium light , not too close to a cold window , if you live in a climate that has cold weather . To water , use 1 ice cube a week. Good luck !
Orchids go dormant between bloomings. They may appear lifeless but are actually alive and well. They should be planted in a bark medium that can be soaked for 20 minutes and then thoroughly drained each week or two depending on your climate. I live in a very dry climate and we soak orchids weekly.
You've gotten some good advice here. Don't forget to fertilize your orchids as well. You can get fertilizer specifically for orchids at most garden supply stores. Follow the instructions on the package.
I had one doing this and I put it on my back porch. It seems to e perking up.
It looks like you have good advice here. Good luck! I used to get Orchids, and they would do well for a while, but I always end up losing them.
Orchids rest in between blooms. It can be months before they are ready to bloom again.
